Rice Kanji: A Homemade Probiotic Recipe for Better Digestion

Step 1

Choose unpolished or parboiled rice for maximum nutritional benefits. Wash thoroughly to remove impurities.

Step 2

Soak 1 cup of rice in 4-5 cups of water for about 30 minutes to soften it for cooking.

Step 3

Bring the soaked rice and water to a boil, then simmer on low heat until the rice is soft and mushy.

Step 4

Allow the cooked rice and water to cool down to room temperature for better probiotic activation.

Step 5

Cover the pot loosely and leave it in a warm place for 8-12 hours to let fermentation occur.

Step 6

Strain the liquid to separate the kanji from the rice solids. You can drink it plain or add salt for taste.

Step 7

Refrigerate any leftover kanji for up to two days. Drink regularly for improved digestion and gut health.
